Situated in a sought-after part of SO19 close to local shops, bus links and schools, this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking manageable, city-location accommodation. The property sits in an area with higher levels of deprivation and average local crime, which may affect long-term capital growth for some buyers.
Internally there is a useful storage cupboard with space for a tumble dryer, and the layout is traditional and spacious for a one-bedroom. Prospective buyers should budget for ongoing service charge and ground rent payments and confirm lease and service details with a conveyancer before purchase.
